Daniel Ahmad (ZhugeEX) : With E3 cancelled, the first proper next gen console/games showcase will be much earlier.
- Thread starter Xavi
- Start date
What's the point of showing off the hardware without the games ? Plus, they pretty much did that already ! :D
I don't know, maybe they'll show one game. I'm just trying to fit both tweets into a logical sequence of events as the Tom Phillips tweet is suggesting the opposite of what OP's tweet suggested.
I haven't managed to work up much enthusiasm for next gen yet. I hope Sony and MS have both got something in store that'll blow my socks off.
I have a feeling Sony and Microsoft will do events in May, while Nintendo will stick to E3 week.
I could see the things getting pushed back being reveals for 2021 games, not the console reveals themselves. Like if Xbox and PS have say 1-2 first party launch games, they reveal the console, date, price and those few titles, along with third party reveals for launch but 2021 and after titles that would normally be teasers for the consoles future wouldn't be shown until July-Aug, etc
Can't argue with that honestly lol
I'm pouting now but once they open the floodgates, I'll be right there
Is it possible they will be sending some kind of review units to media outlets for initial game impressions or is that just not happening this year? Seems pretty risky to do something like that.
It will really suck if the only thing we get is video of the games. I want impressions!

One of the most nothing things lol.
Games will be announced earlier. Games will be announced later. Some will be announced around that time.
No shit.

I can see them getting some units a week or two before release.
Haven't heard anything regarding Sony. I'm not sure when they will have their event
Also, isn't the rumor that MS has their event the first week of May?

That is definitely going to happen. But for these summer e3 replacement events other then the reveals and presentations you want to see impressions of these games. The good, the bad and the downright crazy.
I totally understand if its impossible to do that right now but it will stink to not have all of those impressions about the systems, controllers, games, etc.
If the Bloomberg article is to be believed then Sony will show the console next month. Don't know if they will tweet it out or hold a digital event.
I don't think you realize the significance.... Game announcements are usually shoved into E3 week, outside of smaller games leading to the event or strategic first party game announcements scattered throughout the big summer conferences (E3, Gamescom, and the console reveal/blowout events that happen every gen).
Whats being said is that we can see these game announcements all across the summer/early fall, even in dead months like July that usually have no big announcements. Basically, publishers have control over their announcements and can pick a week after some other publisher does all their announcements to get the full interest of consumers.
I don't care if we have to wait till june, just give me a damn conference date to look forward to already Microsoft or sony!
My guess is we'll get a Sony event sandwiched between Microsoft's 2, and then the news cycle will transition into IGN's "Summer of Gaming" thing, and we'll continue getting dripfeeds until the GamesCom online show.
On the bright side of such a slow rollout, maybe July won't be a dead month for games this year.

Yes indeed. The wait to see this game in particular is absolutely killing me.
I don't think I've ever been as excited for a game that hasn't even been announced yet as I am for that.
It makes sense for Microsoft to go first, since they are very eager to start next-gen and try to reclaim some ground in marketshare.
Sony is not in the same position, they want to profit on the PS4 success as long as they possibly can. There is no real incentive for them to go early.
I'm also wondering what are Nintendo's plans for this holiday, will they just look at next-gen by the wayside to try to drop some bombshell such as BOTW 2 or those rumored Mario remasters.

I cant see MS having a separate event just for the Series X. They have already revealed the specs, controller, console, marquee launch title (Halo Infinite), and other features like quick resume and showcased back compat.
With TLOU2 delayed and GoT probably following its example, I could definitely see Sony bringing the PS5 unveil forward. Otherwise I think they probably would've waited it out.
Probably nothing. Not sure what the point of a judges' week would be without an E3.
Im actually really hoping ps5 to be delayed. Im planning to go party in singapore in july. Im going to be so broke if it is released early
Because its factual data. Its not an opinion constructed by biased thinking. The opinions on sonys Marketing and advertising here are completely worthless. You have a lot of people (mostly xbox fans wanting to spread some FUD) who are saying sony are messing up. However, the data and the facts completely suggest otherwise. And that's why its brought up
I think it tells us that the PS brand is so strong that they don't really need to have a competent marketing strategy.
